About the role

A Series C SaaS platform serving North American retailers is moving from a hand-rolled, single-region AWS footprint to a multi-region, IaC-driven platform with real SLOs. You’ll be one of three senior cloud engineers leading that migration.

What you’ll do

  • Codify everything in Terraform (current state is roughly 60% IaC)
  • Design and roll out a multi-region EKS topology with traffic shifting
  • Stand up SLOs, error budgets, and on-call rotations in Datadog
  • Lead one major migration end-to-end per quarter
  • Coach platform engineers on cloud and observability patterns

What you bring

  • 6+ years on AWS, with deep EKS / EC2 / VPC / IAM experience
  • Production Terraform at scale (modules, remote state, drift management)
  • Experience designing and meeting SLOs in a multi-tenant SaaS
  • Strong written communication — most decisions live in design docs
